I come back to report on the Twilight Movie.

I must admit when I watched the trailers, I was very much -not- interested. But, as I did with Harry Potter, I subjected myself to treating the movie as a separate entity from the book.

In doing so, I found myself quite interested with the movie. For me, I was expecting something poorly put together, dry and horribly inaccurate. Alas, I was for the most part proven rather wrong.

Though there were definitely some dry areas that could've used some work, the directer really did shove as much of the entire book into 2 hours as was possible (including the prom but not including the Aston Martin Vanquish. ;^; ).

Admittedly, I was impressed by the movie but I don't think it was because of the whole Vampire meets human and both sides fall in mushy gushy unrealistic love. Nope! I was drawn in, in all reality, by the humor and reality I came to face that well...it kind of reminded me of things that happen around my house. o_o;;

Stewart portrayed a very good Bella, if you compare her to the book. Robert as Edward was a little awkward but his facial discomfort served up enough humor to distract from that awkwardness. The rest of the Cullen's did not get as much screentime as I was hoping for. We did not get to see Jasper's interesting ability to calm a room though he, like Edward, made up with facial discomfort.

It definitely was worth being dragged in (and I forgot that wretched mp3 player anyways) and forced to watch 2 hours of what I thought would be a bountiful amount of cheesy special effects. Even if you don't like Twilight, I suggest watching it anyways just to see how much humor you catch onto. (Hell, my sister loved it and she never read the books).

I do have this as well, to bring back: Shotgun's are a father's best friend. >333

[/stands to be corrected/challenged] BRING IT ON! I will actually fight for this movie. >| (Not a very common occurance)

So, today has been a very interesting day! >w<

I was going to type earlier but I was sidetracked by my friends and other things going on. But now I'm able to post here finally!


I didn't put this in the subject, or past entries, but I'm really looking forward to my dad coming back home. It doesn't seem like it was a long time ago that he was in LA helping with Hurricane Relief earlier this year. Now he's gone on a fire fighter meeting in Peoria. I miss him but thankfully he's coming home tomorrow.

On another note, I gained a new nickname from my good friend Massu-chan. I'm not used to it yet, though, cause it's weird. xD Then again, she's weird so it all works out! My friends and I go by NewS member names and I'm Kusano. We have a Tegoshi, Ryo (kowai~), Koyama, Massu, and Yamapi. I get to pick out Shige since he's my other favorite member and I'm extremely finicky. ;^; But earlier, Massu, Tego and I were joking around and at some point I start going 'Rawr'. Thus the nickname Kusa-raur was born and I have a feeling she's not going to let me live it down. It's fine, though. >w< The last nickname I had was 'mom' and that got old by the second semester of school so I'm glad my friend and I got into a fight and made-up that ended my role as 'mom' in that situation...

But that's a long boring story I won't get into. xD

On another note, I finished watching Ichi Ritoru no Namida and cried, still/again. I can't -not- cry! And I've tried, nearly choked if it weren't for the dog scaring me out of my chair. >_>;; That's my number one most emotional drama, or at least the one I cried the most in. I cried once in Kurosagi (the last ep) and I tried to cry in Last Friends but because I had seen Ryo's/Sosuke's 'suicide' scene before the show, I kept laughing at how rediculously bright the 'blood' was. I swear, if red was neon, that would've been it! xD I'm heartless, I know. >_>;;; OH! And I definately also cried a time or two in Code Blue. In fact, I'm going to watch it again because I liked it so much and I can't wait for the Special on New Year's!!!

And last but certainly not least, Ramune. Ramune is a carbonated soft drink. Basically soda. But the bottle and such is what I think makes it so unique. owo I LOVE IT! XD It has this marble at the top that acts as the cap would, if you will. Then, you pop the marble down and there are two indentations in the glass that catch the marble so you can drink! >w< My brother and sister were down in Kansas City, for my brother's cousin's wedding when they bought gifts for everyone. That's what they got me. >w< I'm so keeping the bottle. xD It was orange flavor, too. Really tasty! Now if I can just get ahold of this Coffee Milk the Japanese seem to love so much, I'll be a happy cookie. >w<

Well, I'd better go. I have work tomorrow and even though it's not until 5pm, it would be a good idea if I tried to get some sleep. And I have got to figure out what is up with my left arm. >_>;; It's been fussy lately...but that's all right! I'll bet it's just tired or something.

Well, good night! >w<

Current Mood: bouncy

So...I've decided that, for my love of NewS, I'm going to post a NewS member of the week in here!!!

Later on I might do something more creative. >__>;; For now, I'm a boring NewS fangirl trying to find a way to pass each day that goes by that she's not working.

Speaking of work, I work tomorrow and Wednesday. >w< I guess I'm both excited and wishing I didn't have work. This is my first job, so I'm excited about it, but the training was so boring and useless, I'm not really looking forward to working. xD

Anyways...I suppose the first member will be...[/shuffles around slips of paper in a hat and pulls one out] (And yes, I'm really pulling these out of a hat) Hm...AH! Shigeaki Kato~!

Please enjoy this complimentary picture:



>w< I love this one! He looks all cool.

Five things to love about Shigeaki Kato (In my opinion):

1.) His face. He can pull off a dead serious look in one picture to adorably childish in another!
2.) His voice. It's different and with the right song (Happy Music), it's addicting. >w<
3.) His cannon. KoyaShige for life and the ONLY person I will pair with Koyama. xD
4.) His smile. He claims it's all fake but I can tell he really just likes to smile a lot. ^w^
5.) His stripping. Of course, he would be the one to try and strip everything if he could on public television! OwO

>3 I adore Shige for so many more reasons. These were simply a few of my favorites. xD

Eventually, I'm going to figure out how to customize my journal took better/different. >w< That is, if there really is a way to do that kind of thing.

That's all for now! If I think of something else, I'll post it!

Bai bai~

[/swoons in peaceful bliss/poked]

Oh! What?! AH!

XD

So, my mom brought home this amazing coffee stir-in. It's made by International Delight and it's amazing!

I was slightly skeptical when my mom told be that there used to be this coffee mint bean she would buy years ago and that she bought this to try it. She said, with much enthusiasm, that it was good (she's not one to get too excited about things unless she really likes it).

So, that night, I heated that morning's coffee back up, poured in the creamy liquid concoction a little sugar for taste and took a sip.

I had two cups that night and have had two every morning for the last two days. >w<

It was that good! owo

And now I want to share it with my friend, but she's in another state so that doesn't work. I'd say if anyone wants to have a nice peaceful taste on a more than cool but nice fall evening, this is certainly a recommended drink for coffee lovers. >w<

Well, I g2g! I start work on Monday again. It will be my first day on the floor so wish me luck! >w<

Okay, so I've been submitting applications for 6 months and I just recently got a job! >w< I'm so happy!!! xD

I'm not sure when I start just yet, but I do have two people to thank (I know some people may find this strange but I don't care. >w<)

First of all, thank you Kusano Hironori, for being a goofball who made my day better whenever I watched you do a backflip in your video "She's All Mine". >w<

And secondly, thank you Kato Shigeaki, for being another goofball who wears a cute little crown on his head. XD I will one day steal that crown and take it for my own, after you autograph it. >w<

I wrote these two names down on a piece of paper, kissed it and went in for an interview. The next day, I got a call for a job offer and I've never felt so much relief in my life before that day. So thank you both for being what kept me strong and on my feet. xD I owe it to you two. >w<

For anyone who may be going "She's a freak," Please know that I've already been told that. xDDD My best friend made that very clear. Anyways, wish me luck as I start training next week and I hope I do a really good job! >w<

And I have to thank my parents for supporting me as well. They didn't let me give up. >w< Thank you Mom and Dad. >w<

Current Mood: accomplished

SO!

I just found an awesome place to get information about my favorite Jdramas!! I'm loving Code Blue with Pi in it!!!!! 

As my friend put it: It's Japan's version of ER with Helicopters! xDDD

So I'm going to go watch some more of it. >w<

BYE!

Ugh. Man, if it weren't for the fact my friend visited right after she had been sick, we would've had an awesome time! Alas, I wasn't feeling good the second day she had slept over but I blame that on three factors. First of all, I slept in the fetal position in this blue chair in my room. Second, my sister was sick just before my friend came over. Third, my friend had just been sick and I shared a drink with her.

Needless to say, stomach virus' are the WORSE! I mean, I'd rather have a cold and fever than sit for two days in pain as if it was -that- time of the month. There was nothing medicine wise I could take that gave me relief. On top of that, I haven't been able to find any recipes for the family reunion. I almost contemplated not going at all since I know I'm going to cry. My grandma died in March so this will be the first reunion without her and we're dividing all her stuff up that weekend too.

But my sister insists that I go. And I love my grandma and I know she would want me to go with or without her. My friend (the same one who helped me get sick) is supposed to go with. I hope I do all right. I'm also making bracelets for silent auction and bingo, we're still going to play despite everything. Afterwards, I'll be able to relax at the fair, thankfully. And I'm starting to miss having someone, like an actual boyfriend...I'm rambling.......

ANYWAYS~!

I know I said something about stories in my last entry but those got postponed due to everything going on. And I've been trying to find a job and I'm sadly failing. It bites that I didn't get the job that I wanted last week. ;^; But there are more jobs out there and someone is bound to hire me...right?

Well, that's about it for the few days I didn't post. Boring, ne? Oh well. You all will live.

Current Mood: discontent

So I had a random thought earlier today. Kind of like a sudden calling that has tempted to start writing short little stories. The collection is going to be called "Stories of Angels". In each story, there will be an Angel who recounts an encounter with a person or child. Each story tells something different but they all hold a similar theme. You'll catch it pretty quick so I'm not going to spoil anything more for you guys here.

I hope you'll stick around and read them and let me know what you think!

So I've been absent again, sue me (actually, please don't! I don't have a job...yet). How is everyone or anyone who even reads this?!

Okay, cutting the crap. :p

Yesterday I had a job interview...well, it was more of an overview of what the job was. Which made me mad afterwards because while I sitting in the office waiting for my turn (I was half an hour early cause I go through 5 intersections to get there), my stomach threw a butterfly fit! I get into the room with the two doing the interview process (I thought they were really nice and gave me really good impressions which means I'll definately get along with them and that makes me happy!), and find out that they just want to check my schedule and let me know about the job and what I'll be doing. I really hope I can get the job, though! I'd really like it to be there because my dad worked there as well as my uncle and they know another one of my uncles! It's cool and there's big trucks (semi's)!!

So I'm waiting for a callback which will hopefully be on Monday and that's when the (hopefully) bonified interview will be. Cross my fingers and hope I do well! I really would like a job soon cause now I want to help my dad pay for fixing my car (that I did not break!). I don't like driving the current vehicle I've got ('83 chevy van) cause it's too big and I'm small. >.< Besides, a little extra pocket money will get me a little bit closer to college and I really want/need to go to college.

Happy Note: Hm...I guess I'm happy that I went to sleep at 5pm yesterday and only had to wake up for dinner. My dad told me I should go back to bed cause apparently I was about to take a nose-dive into my empty plate? I was a bit out of it so I wasn't paying attention. lol

Sad Note: My mic is broke! ;^; I don't know what happened to it but it ended up on the floor and now it doesn't work! I'm so sad about it but I know I can get a new one.

Angry Note: Nothing to be angry about today!

Thankful Note: Today's weather is nice. I'm going to finish getting dressed...OH! I wonder if we can have a fire. That would be fun it's so nice out today!

Other Note: I'm actually looking for a guy to date (would be the best if it's a guy with Kusano's personality...or Kusano but I'll keep dreaming in my corner). I'd go out with my sister more (not date, but talk to the guys she hangs out with) if I wasn't so uninterested in the people she's with and if the one guy I like that she gets to hang out with wasn't already taken.

Well, I suppose that's all for today. I sound like I'm still in high school, listen to me! >.< But I have graduated, and I'm happy though I kind of regret my grades a little...

See everyone tomorrow!
